Description
Attosecond metrology emerged on the turn of the milleneum and enabled scientists to observe fundamental electronic processes in atoms, molecules, or solids in real time. Attosecond techniques now permit measurement of the oscillating electric field of light from the infrared to the ultraviolet. We will discuss how this unprecedented technical capability may help advance electronic signal processing towards its ultimate speed limit and allows sensing changes in the molecular composition of human blood, for health monitoring.
